In this episode of Passages Pulse, Josiah is joined by new co-host Olivia Layne to break down Tucker Carlson’s recent interview with U.S. Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee — and the controversy surrounding Tucker’s brief “visit” to Israel.

Throughout the episode, Josiah and Olivia examine Tucker’s confrontation with Ambassador Huckabee, the repeated claim that America’s relationship with Israel is “toxic,” and the broader implications of that framing. They also discuss the airport “detention” narrative, the resurfaced Epstein allegation and subsequent retraction, and the ongoing debate over Christian Zionism. Along the way, they address claims about Israel’s treatment of Christians and ask whether this exchange functioned as journalism — or as something closer to performance.
